Health officials urge screening of household servants
State health authorities warn that phoid fever dysentery diphtheria and other contagious diseases easily spread by family servants. A typhoid carrier or venereal disease carrier such as a cook or nursemaid can infect an entire family through food contact or play with children. The department recommends that employers have their family physician periodically examine house servants and begin treatment promptly if diseased, noting the cost is negligible compared with illness or death in the family.

UT Denies Refusing 14 Year Old Admit
Anna Ruth Miller, 14, a San Antonio high school graduate, reportedly was denied admission to the University of Texas. Assistant registrar Max Fichtenbaum said the action was not a denial but a misinterpretation of the university’s 16 year age rule. He noted exceptions are possible for highly qualified students and that UT might have a student under 13 in classes next fall.
